J36 Crooklands Livestock Auction: J36 Weekly Sale of Prime Hoggs & Cast Sheep, Tuesday 10th January 2023

Prime Hoggs

There was an entry of 938 prime hoggs forward at J36 which saw the trade inline with other markets as the demand for prime hoggs is currently limited following the festive period, with number of prime hoggs continuing to come forward as with vendors understandably wanting sheep off the land. There was an overall market average of 215p/kg with 45-50kg hoggs averaging 225p/kg. A consignment of Beltex hoggs from GM&A Jackson, Little Eccleston sold 44kg lambs to £132 and 43kg to £130 with Texels from the same home to £126. Heavy weight hoggs sold to a top of £129 for Suffolks from JH Towers & Sons, Tunstall. Continentals sold to £129 from LM Berry, Cartmel Fell followed by other Continentals to £127 from RD Holland & Co, Millom. Plenty more heavy weights sold in the region of £120.
